    Default Icon Tint

    Afternoon, wondering if anyone has pictures of their car with Icon's global tint.

    Read around and not sure between Shadow and Icon.

    Reviews good and bad for both and I'm not looking for more.

    I'm curious if anyone has pictures of Icon's tint because
    I heard it has a blue tinge to it and wanted to confirm this.

    Blue isn't far from purple.. That's what I'm worried about.

    I'm in the NW and I know Icon would be the place to go, but I'm not
    a fan of tint being any other color besides black.

    Do you mean if I 'do' go to the store ?

    Just don't want tacky looking tint.

    I preferred Shadow Tint's supreme tint (blue/greeninsh) compared to Icon's Global (brown/greyish).

    Icon tint (20%)


    Shadow Tint (28%)

    Thanks for the pictures.

    I can see Icon's has a greyish tinge to it and Shadows has a greenish tinge
    to it as you said. I don't see the blue in Icon's though.

    I believe Damien has been using Global for awhile. I just wanted
    to be sure that Icon's tint wasn't junk.

    Is that a 328 or 335i coupe ?

    I'm thinking about getting one. Seen them dip around 19-20k.

    I used Icon on my Tacoma. Amazing work, and the tint closely matches the OEM tint from the dealership on the rear windows.

    Let me know how it turns out, I might be looking to tint my back window. Possibly my driver/pass ones to (in a lighter shade).
